Changing my hair colour

Today, the most fundamental questions of all, a philosophical, ontological, existential question: should I become a brunette again?

As you know, I am a blonde with light skin and green-gray eyes. My hair is not a light, but a relatively dark shade of blond. I guess you could say I'm a dirty blonde. At around 19-20 yo I dyed my hair basically black and only turned back blonde about 3 or 4 years ago. And recently I found a lost pic of mine of maybe 5 years ago and I thought I was quite cute. Black hair, white face, green eyes and (very) red lips looked so good. Of course there was makeup involved and of course I was younger so maybe the nostalgia came from there. But allow me to walk you through the intricacies of hair dying. I'm sure you guys (hardly any ladies left in this group) believe that this is a simple affair: one morning you wake up with a desire to have a different hair colour, you walk in a saloon and one hour later voila! Not so easy.

I have very straight hair - I used to wish more curls but today straight hair seems to be very much in vogue and I guess it's eaier to curl than to straighten hair so who cares. I wore it very long, around my mid-butt. I remember the first time nude on a public beach I could lower my head a bit and the hair would cover my nether parts - well it would have except for the relatively strong breeze.

It's easy to colour your hair black, you just put dye on it. But then, to go back to blonde, you need to wash out that dye which has already penetrated the structure of the hair, which is a complex process and involves lots of chemicals which will degrade the quality of your hair. I had a good hair dresser who walked me through three 5h sessions to gently bring it close to the original color (it was still darker but I was basically a blonde again). Then one day, when my hairdresser was on leave, I accompanied a friend to a beautician. She was having a haircut, I asked for a manicure (something I usually do myself) and we were chatting. The girl who was doing her hair reassured me that she can turn me into a platinum blonde in no time and that my hairdresser was just milking me of as much money as he could.

So I took the challenge and asked her to turn my hair into a very light shade of blonde. And she did. I was a platinum blonde one hour later, when I walked out of that saloon.

But when I got back home, my hair started to fall by the handful. I must have lost something like 20% of it and when I washed it I realised that it had been severely burnt so I had to cut it shorter, around my mid-back. I am still wearing it around this length, waiting for the burned part to be cut off (no, you don't grow 1m of hair in 4 years). Plus, honestly maintaing very long hair is a pain...

All this to say that turning back to brunette is an easy process, but becoming a blonde again is a long, expensive and risky one.

There are disadvantages to being a brunette: any gray hair (yes, I do have a few) will be immediately noticed so I will need to dye it every other week. But I took some pics with a wig with relatively long, straight hair and I thought they were nice. So I am tempted.

There was however one more thing which I noticed. I often like to wear a small land strip and my pubic hair is blondish. I have often seen blonde ladies with dark pubic hair but never the other way round. That looks kinda bizarre (yes, I could post a pic or two if this can help you help me with a suggestion). Of course I could shave it all, but I start feeling like I am trying to impersonate a young girl when I do, so keeping a small land strip is more in line with my age. And yes, dying the scarce pubic hair black would be very easy.

So here are my questions now:

1. Should I become a brunette again?
2. If yes, should I dye my pubic hair black?

Thanks in advance for your help.
